From my observation, this depends upon the thickness of your project board and sled. If the combined thickness is greater than the machine's capability, no message. With a 1/4" board and 1/'2" sled, it could cut through both, so you get the message.

Just might be the case. I was cutting 1/2" on a 3/4" carrier. It did all of the measurements without asking.

Hi Floyd,

Remind me (and I'll try to remind you/us too) to ask Chris about this at the Conference. We would expect to always be able to choose "Project" thickness regardless of total sled+actual board thickness. If that is not the case now, perhaps a software update/fix can be put on the programmers' list.

SWEET! It works just like I wanted! Thanks! Apparently they need to update page 3 the "disadvantages" section of this tutorial, unless I'm reading something wrong! Or maybe they updated the firmware/software to figure this up? Either way I'm glad I can continue creating patterns! I hope this helps someone else cause I have been looking for a solution all weekend. Aaron http://www.carvewright.com/assets/ti...icks_Apr08.pdf

You are correct that this old T-N-T is somewhat outdated since the software has changed since it was written - I'd like to edit it.

Post your mpc. There is no 3/8 cutout option. Did you select a cut path instead?

He used the 3/16" Cutting Bit (i.e, the End Mill) for the Cut Path, but that is not the problem. It is a two-sided project with vectors only for a pocket on the backside and he used the same 3/16" Cutting Bit assigned to those vectors.

When the board is flipped to the Front and the Cut Path is performed, the software fails to recognize the vector/pocket and the Cut Path doesn't make allowance for the material already removed from the Back. The result is that there are no Tabs left.

I've already discussed this with LHR and we have a theory...if a bit is assigned for a backside pocket that is NOT labled internally in the software as a "Carving Bit" then the software becomes "unaware" of material removal on the Back. A tutorial I wrote years ago demonstrated how a simple picture frame with a pocket on the backside will still allow for Tabs when the Cut Path is run on the Frontside. However, this was using a Carving Bit for the back pocket, so it works like a charm.

I'll be talking with the programmers at the Conference regarding "our theory" about the bit labeling affecting the "backside carve awareness" and whether there is a possible solution forthcoming.
